The next meeting for Photographers East will be held this Monday, September 8th, starting at 7PM in the Community Room of Bridgehampton National Bank, Snake Hollow Rd in Bridgehampton.
Kathy and Gordon Gooding have been taking photographs for most of their 48 years together. Kathy loves her telephoto and macro lenses –so she can get “near” or close to the objects she shoots. She looks for designs and color. Her background as a sculptor and visual artist make most of her work more abstract.
Gordon prefers to look at things from a “far” more recently using his new wide-angle lens. He searches for patterns, textures and perspective. His background in architecture and construction, make his work more mechanical and structured.
Kathy and Gordon are just learning how to use Lightroom and Photoshop- as well as their new iMac. Most of what they shoot is to done solely to record episodes in their life. The photos you will see are grouped by themes rather than location. Pictures come from as far as Africa, Alaska, Paris, Key West, Yellowstone, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and California: and as near as Shelter Island and the East End, Connecticut, Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket and Provincetown.
